Swell Summary

Small surf is expected for north and west facing shores of the island through much of the week due to a few pulses moving through the area. The current small medium period NNW swell will peak today and slowly drop tomorrow. A second, more NW swell will build Tuesday and peak Wednesday. This swell will revive slightly and slowly transition to a more NNW direction. Small surf along east facing shores will trend down over the next couple of days the tradewind swell eases. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the week due to a series of small, moderate period SSE swells and small,long period SSW swells. Surf may see a boost Friday in the weekend as a slightly larger medium period SSE swell overlaps a slightly larger small, long period SSW swell.
